JUST IN: ANOTHER REPS MEMBER, EKENE ADAMS IS DEAD
Ekene Adams, a member of the House of Representatives representing Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency, Kaduna State, and Chairman of the House Committee on Sports, has passed away.
According to reports, he died in the early hours of Tuesday, although the cause of death has not been confirmed at this time.
